About Financial Statements and Cash Flows

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The page brings together the main statements a business produces and the thinking behind them. You will find the income statement, the statement of financial position (balance sheet), the statement of comprehensive income and the cash flow statement, plus ratios and the limits of published accounts.

  • The mind map The Income Statement, Comprehensive Income, and Accounting Changes walks through continuing operations, operating income, nonoperating income and income tax expense.
  • The Cash Flow Statements mind map explains what the statement is for and how it draws on the accounting records.
  • The Statement of Comprehensive Income Mind Map follows IAS 1 and what must be presented.

Where to start

Begin with the Financial Statements flashcards. They cover relevance, reliability, comparability, ease of understanding and materiality, then the statement of profit or loss and the statement of financial position. Then move to the Final Accounts mind map, which adds stakeholders, limitations, depreciation and intangible assets.

Moving on to cash flow

Once the basic statements feel familiar, open the Cash Flow statements - FLASH CARDS. They ask for the three headings and what sits under operating, investing and financing activities. The notes and maps on IAS 7 and the direct method give you a second view of the same ground.

Using quizzes and maps together

  1. Read a mind map and note the branches you could not explain.
  2. Take a quiz such as the Statements of Financial Position Qiuz or the AAT level 4 quiz on frameworks and ethics.
  3. Return to the map for any question you missed.
  4. Finish with flashcards on ratios, covering profitability, liquidity and efficient use of resources.

Some resources mention GCSE Business Studies, AAT Level 4 and CMA, so you can match them to your own course.

Where it sits

This unit belongs to the Financial Reporting and Analysis strand of Accounting and auditing. It is the place to learn what the statements show before you move on to analysing them.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Financial Statements flashcards, which cover the qualities of useful information and the two main statements. After that, the Final Accounts mind map gives you a wider picture, including stakeholders, depreciation and the limits of accounts. Move on to cash flow once those feel comfortable.

What do the cash flow resources cover?

They cover the purpose of the cash flow statement, the three headings of operating, investing and financing activities, and what belongs under each. There are mind maps, flashcards and notes, including material on IAS 7 and the direct method, so you can study the same idea in several formats.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one resource to the next.

Which levels and exams do these suit?

Most resources are at university level, with a good share for school students and a small number for professional candidates. Some mention GCSE Business Studies, GCSE Business, AAT Level 4 and CMA, so check the title and content against your own course.

How many quizzes and mind maps are there?

There are more than 60 quizzes and over 370 mind maps, alongside over 190 flashcard decks and plenty of notes. That gives you several ways to meet each topic, from the income statement to ratio analysis.

What if I cannot find what I need?

Try a neighbouring topic, such as the balance sheet, profit and loss accounts or comprehensive income, since many resources overlap. With a free account you can also make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes to fill any gap.
